Cumulative Reflection Paper

Assignment Process: Individual


Background:
Technology integration may be new to you or something you’ve been doing for quite awhile. Either way, it is one of our goals in this course to further your experience, knowledge, and successes with integrating computer technology into your classroom curriculum. From the computer lab to the one computer classroom, integration can mean many different things to many different teachers. We’d like to know what it has come to mean to you as a result of this class.

Some things to consider including are (1) your feelings and/or practices related to integration of technology before this course; (2) what you learned during this course, discussion, activities, and readings, etc.; (3) changes you will make to your integration practices following this course. Give some concrete examples of how you will change your teaching practice because of this course.


Goal: Synthesize and present how your thinking on technology in the classroom has changed, been reinforced, or challenged as a result of this course.


DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Consider collecting your thoughts/reflections on your learning as the class progresses.
2) This is graduate school so a well crafted paper expressing higher order thinking skills is expected.
3) When writing your rough draft, be sure to give specific reasons and examples for your opinions. Your paper can be a traditional paper or an alternative format of your choosing.
4) Be sure to revise and spell-check your rough draft before submitting a draft to the instructor for feedback (optional).
5) Your final draft should be carefully edited, spell checked, etc.


Formatting Requirements:
Your paper should follow these guidelines:
· Word processed on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with one inch margins

· Use a traditional 12 point font
· Indent paragraphs
· Double space
· Use section dividers if necessary.
· Place page numbers in the upper right-hand corner of each page except the cover page
· Use a cover sheet which includes this information: the title of the paper, your name, Hamline University, course, term and year.

You do not need to include quotes or research as it is a reflection paper. However, if you should choose to include a quote or reference another’s work, you should include a bibliography on a separate page, carefully applying APA citation requirements.
